Summary

Gus gets left behind, along with Gelman and Miss Finster when Gus' dad forgets to give him his permission slip to his first great state fair. Meanwhile, T.J. refuses to enjoy himself because he promised Gus he'd get him to the fair.

Plot

Trivia

The dance that Miss Finster forces Gus and Gelman to do while at school, "The Otter Dance" (which actually, the latter does not do because "[his] old man doesn't believe in otters"), has become a minor internet meme among fans.

We found out that the girl with the light brown skin and brown sandals name is Judy when she handed her slip to Miss Grotke.

When T.J. tells the rest of the gang why he's not enjoying the fair, Jerome can be seen working at one of the game booths.
